⌈Physical Description⌋
Nathan is rather tall, and looks rather youthful for his age. His hair is long and a pale shade of green which becomes darker at the ends. To match his hair, his eyes are also an exceptionally light shade of green. His bangs rest freely around his face and trail down to his cheeks, and there is a long braid on Nathan’s right which is held together with a white hairband. Normally he would have a rather solemn expression, but, when taken over by his maddened personality, Nathan develops dark lines under his eyes and his grin widens greatly.

Over his head, he wears a black hat that slightly resembles a police mans one in shape, with a short brim. On the tip of the “crown” there is a white steak. the band around this crown is covered in lack and white diamonds. He wears a wrinkled while slightly unbottened brown shirt with a long, black necktie is loosely tied around the collar, where there is a silver pin down the middle. Over that, Nathan wears a long-sleeved, black jacket which is left open. On his right, near the shoulder area, there are three square-shaped silver studs trailing down vertically. Also, on the left side of his jacket, there are squares identical to this that also run down vertically. His entire left sleeve is patterned with with black-and-white diamonds and a similarly-designed patch of cloth is designed on his right side, directly underneath the collar, placed parallel to the three studs on the other end. On his patterned sleeve, there is a black cloth wrapped around his upper bicep Around the males waist is a black shirt with a diagonal cut, making it somewhat short on the left. Over to the right, there are three square-shaped silver studs pinned near the cloth’s line. Over this, there is a long piece of cloth resembling a cape hanging around his legs, which is also styled with the longer end stretching diagonally towards the right. It’s black with a inner lavender lining. Underneath all of that, Nathan wears tight black pants over black shoes with heels.

"Do you think I am boring to have only one option to wear everyday? I- I only want to put on what I like... is that bad?"





We're all imperfect beings, but the art is to accept the fact and live every day to its fullest.




☤ Mentality ☤

⌈Habits/Quirks⌋
Eating sweets when pressured || It comes naturally. While others prefer to grab a cigarette, Nathan has a bunch of sweets inside his pockets, never out of it, ever. And he often used it as a way to calm himself down.
Polite gestures || For him, it's common sense to be polite to people surround him, it shows his respect towards the person. However, many refused to because oddly is that he do not desired others to do the same. That's why he now struggles to withdraw formalities.
Treat people like little kids || It's because he had two little siblings, almost ten years apart. He couldn't help to correct people ties or shoes or whatever and so treat them like little kids. It seems though, that it doesn't really bother people so it's even more difficult to get rid of this 'motherly instinctive' habit.


⌈Likes⌋
♥ Wandering, Take a walk
♥ Various kinds of tea
♥ Animals
♥ Music
♥ Nature
♥ Meeting new people
♥ Shoot photos


⌈Talents⌋
Sketch || It's weird. Honestly, while he most of the time forgot things easily, if something he sees that somehow left an impression, he is able to sketch it reproduced in facsimile, as if he has a photographic memory (which he does not).
Playing any instrument || He just need some monotoring by the basics, afterwards, he'll be able to play anything on that instrument as if he trained for years. His ears, seem to memorize every single melody he heard that pleased him and then play it on an instrument merely with the remained memory.
Empathy || He is fairly perceptive about other feelings. He has an easy time to adjust to the persons mood and get them talk about their problems. His calm, and kind demeanour seem to make people trust him more easily. And furthermore, his advices are often practical and effective.


⌈Hobbies⌋
Wandering || He likes to stroll around, watching and observing, merely enjoying what's happening surround him. It's kind of makes him calm and rest assured, to see people smile and live their day to its fullest.
Meeting new people || It's the result of strolling around much. There are often times he met new people in the process. Likes to talk to them about various things, getting more knowledge and information which he is unbeknownst about.
Shooting various of photos || It's fun, simple as that.


⌈Dislikes⌋
✖ Countinous physical touch
✖ Betrayal
✖ To have no options
✖ No freedom for creativity
✖ Doing nothing
✖ Any kinds of drugs
✖ Baselessness/ Groundlessness


⌈Fears⌋
Claustrophobia || The fear of having no escape and being in closed or small spaces or rooms. It is typically classified as an anxiety disorder and often results in panic attack, and can be the result of many situations or stimuli, including elevators crowded to capacity, windowless rooms, and even tight-necked clothing.
Losing someone precious || Self explanatory knowing he lost his entire family. He fears to be alone, but on the other hand detest sustained physical touch.


⌈Flaws⌋
Can't sit still || It's rare to see him sitting without doing anything. He just has to do something, or he'll go crazy. Every second is precious, so he says when people tell him to sit down and relax. Well, sometimes he relaxes too, but that's when around many people and he is in an interesting chitchat.
Oblivious if it comes to love which includes him || Self explanatory.
Can't hold his liquor || Please, do not try to make him drunk. You'll regret it.
Clumpsy || Somehow, he always succeed to fall in such an extravagant manner... but if it's certain things he is really good at, no one can beat him in lifetime. He merely has to really like that certain action, if not, he'll get to ruin it for sure, with a way no one would've think one could do (because of the level of ridiculousness).


⌈Secrets⌋
⌛ Was bullied when little.
⌛ His natural hair colour is blonde.
⌛ His split personality, despite that already is known by everyone. He can't seem to adjust with that thought to have been exposed as a 'mad man' and can't hold his aggressivity.

"Do not invade my privacy, thank you."

⌈Personality⌋
|| Polite || Kind || Sympathic || Empathic ||
|| Obsessed || Passionate || Aggressive || Merciless ||

First off, you have to know that he suffers under 'Dissociative Identity Disorder' also known as DID or Multiple Personality Disorder. That been said, you can recognize him as two individuals in one and the same body. The one who is known as gentle and loved by everyone, and the other who is crazy mad and spreads fear everywhere. It's also why he is called "the Joker". He is not available all the time, sometimes he is so screwed up no one get a hold of him and eventually the chasing of one own people begins. Well that been said, his 'mad side' isn't dumb, won't destroy everything it pleases just for amusement reasons. To understand it better, it may be appropriate to narate you about how everything had began, long long ago. It's because the event of his two little twin siblings was killed, right in front of him, by those monsters, those Unmeis. In a mere second, the blood of the twins were spread all over the floor, letting Nathan fall into despair. That's how he snapped. Snapped, and went mad. The next what he remembers is, that he had killed the Unmeis, with whatever way ever, and ended up covered in blood. But he, that time, could only smirk.

It's as if a ghost possessed him, like, a whole different person. And each time the kind side of Nathan get back the control over his body, he'll have the memories, even if it's a bit vague. He is aware of what he has done, knowing well it's wrong. Why wrong you ask? He merely killed Unmeis? Well, sometimes that's not the case. Didn't you hear of the talk that Hyeons also kills humans? The Joker, Nathan, is one of the most aggressive killing human beings, if it means he'll get to destroy Unmeis with his hands, splatter them into pieces. And as if he transforms, every sense got enchanted while he is in his mad man condition. He is more dangerous when in his mad man conscious. At least, that's what it seemed like. You have to process it into your brain that they're still in one single body. Even though the kind Nathan wouldn't like the mad man's method at all, he never felt any regret. There's something very strong that connects both personalities: It's the hatred towards Unmeis. And it's strong enough to make Nathan still stand straight going around the town, giving the humans he had killed a heavenly prayer and smiled without any hesitation, without feeling bad. Scary? It's simple that he justifies his actions through the result: Unmeis killed. That all matters.

"Polite and Rude, you can also say. I am not really proud of it... I think."





Every second is precious. I learnt it through the years living.




☤ Backround ☤

⌈Romantic Interest & Relationship History⌋
He is hopeless in such things.

⌈Most Precious Person⌋
"It's better to have no precious person. It's better, definitely."

⌈Family⌋
Bernhardt Wolfgang Knoblauch || 48 years old (Age of death) || Father || Visual
"He was a man who barely passed as a recognizable father, I suppose. I won't sweet talk his individual, I wouldn't be able to tell you anything pleasant I think. Don't be mistaken, I didn't hate him. At least, I couldn't. He was my father and is, still, after all. Nothing will come out of hating a dead person. I might sound harsh, but isn't it the truth? Furthermore, he was an individual who didn't even visit the funeral of his own wife because of something unreasonable. No, even now I can't forgive him, despite I know how ugly he felt afterwards. To be frank, I think he deserved it. If he was too busy for his own family, I am too busy for acting like his son. Don't worry, I am not heartless. I did his funeral just fine, dying from falling down the stairs is truly pathetic enough."
Maria Knoblauch || 44 years old (Age of death) || Mother || Visual
"I remember her to be very gentle, despite her firm and strict expression. Many feared her because of the impression she might make because of her unfriendly face. It might be the truth, my mother wasn't the friendliest around, that's for sure. However, she has a kind heart, too bad that many people read a book from its cover. I loved her and love her still, I can only say positive about my hardworking mom. I believed... prayed for her recovery. It was a nasty sickness, I don't want to remember it anymore. I was fourteen years old, I don't remember the details any longer. What I know is she died, without losing faith of that man to come visit her. And he did not come, at all."
Katherine Knoblauch || 7 years old (Age of death) || Little sister || Visual
"She.. was a very reserved child, unlike her twin brother. She was more analytical, wanted to learn step by step and reassure herself for everything to be safe before doing something. Truly, both of them were enitre opposites, but they get along with each other as if they know each others thoughts. She liked to draw. Loved stuffed animals. I bought it for her when I got money from part-time work sometimes, and even though her gestures are very restricted, I could always read the delight in her sparkling big eyes. That time... that time... I was sure she's have such a wonderful future in front of her. I was sure of it."
Maxime Knoblauch || 7 years old (Age of death) || Little brother || Visual
"As said, her twin brother is the complete opposite. He was more like the cheerful child. He seems to love roaming around, especially out there in the park. He especially sparked my enjoyment in the nature. If he wasn't there, you'll always know because it'd be quiet in the house. He was the troublemaker who makes everything interesting, yes, without Max everything would be very depressive after the death of mother. He brought back the liveliness. But now, no one of the two is able to do that any longer..."

⌈History⌋
It's inevitable, how so many twists in life, prior to that was lead by seemingly harmless small decisions, eventually sparked an interest of many and along the merciless string of fate makes one suffer greatly of unbeknownst degree. That is probably a very common phrase when refering to the life of Nathan, before he became a Hyeon. Having a family who never lacked anything; the typical middle-class family, he never considered himself as an unfortunate person. He did not need to suffer hunger or thirst, not often had to renounce something in particular important and therefore couldn't apropos his life tell anything unpleasant. At least, until the death of his mother. It didn't come suddenly. She eventually ended up in a hospital bed two years before finally never awakened from her sleep. It was predictable, and not preventable.

Obviously, it was the small twins who suffered the most. They were merely four years old as their dear mother, whose importance was more than Nathan as he was older, announced to be dead. Passed away, without being able to see her husband four months before her death. Nonetheless, their mother told them to love that man, obey him, and do not cause much trouble for him. She told her children to be patient with him, trying to make them understand him, their father. Nathan however, couldn't. And after the death of both of his siblings because of a case of Unmeis' assassination, he literary refused to believe in any hints of his fathers kindness. He gave him up, you could say.

About the question, how he realised his powers, it's noticeable how reluctantly he'll look, how unwilling he is to share. There's even a theory he was the one killing his father, although it obviously said in his father's death report that he died under the sickness (cancer) he had that time. Nonetheless, when questioned to that, his answers wouldn't be specific, very general and distant. Not an easy way to squeeze some significant information out of someone. What's true, and underpinned by a witness testimony is, that he had a big fight with his father before the day of his death. It was around the birth of his split personality, his rebellish side taking over him, doing all the talking, interrogating him of past confusions, discouragments, and disappointments. His father was being questioned by his loyality as a real father and husband... which burden him much mentally as also physically. Nathan was told to leave that day for good. No, it's very mysterious about all the circumstances, evident is, that eventually Nathan became a proud member of Free Spirit, might that be because he wanted to relate to someone with the same fate as his, or to be able to control his power better, learn to at least.

"Everything else is to be told by me only. Just ask, I'll answer then, maybe."





I want to use it to help people in need only, but it's unfortunate... that I can't control it well.

∞ Ability ∞
As mentioned, he is called "The Bard" or sometimes "The Joker" whether by those who know him as a Hyeon, or his fellow gang members. His ability has something to do with that. Actually, through his music, he is able to have several effects to specific individual within his range;
♦ Support ♦
Able to enchant the skills of the people he wants to have enchanted abilities and makes their attacks more effective and stronger. Happens with his will, so no enemy might get a use out of it.
Heals minor injuries
Calm people down and get them to think straight and logically, without panic
♦ Creation of Illusion Barriers ♦
Can create illusion barrier in a restricted diameter
When an enemy is sealed inside such, illusions will appear everywhere, most of it are connected with the fear they hold inside their hearts
Weakness:
The enemy is able to easily exit the illusion barrier when reach its edge.
Nathan can't use it in the most effective way, he lacks control still. With his 'mad' personality though, he easily overcomes the hesitations and confusions, and can control this ability without any problems.

"It's a pleasure for me to help you."



So begins...

Time | Unknown; One Week Ago
Location | Unknown





Tsubaki; woke to darkness. Her brow was covered in a film of sweat and there was a throbbing pain in her head. A liquid was running down the side of her head, but she already knew what it was. Blood. It wasn't much surprise, honestly she expected something of the sort. Trying to move her hands lead her to find that she was in fact tied to a chair. Using what little movement was available to her, she checked her back pockets. Still there. "What amateurs, they didn't even bother to check my pockets."she muttered. With effort, she was able to grab her pocket knife but it then immediately fell out of her hand.

Tsubaki let out a heavy sigh, though it wouldn't have helped even if she managed to keep her grip on the knife. She would still have no idea of where she was suppose to cut, given how dark it was. Her thoughts were soon cut off by the sound of a door creaking open. Tsubaki strained her ears to hear were the sound was coming from, but to no avail. Suddenly, she was blinded by a bright light shinning almost directly into her face. After her eyes adjusted she was able to see who was in front of her. Sayuri appeared with a huge grin on her face.

"Yo, you alright? You seem to be in a good amount of pain right now." Sayuri said as she chortled at her own sarcasm. "I'm fine, just hurry up and get me out of here, and how did you manage to get in here anyways?" Tsubaki barked back at her as she took off the now loose ropes from her wrists. "How do ya' think I got in here? I obviously hacked their security, which wasn't much of a feat to complete with my amazing skills." she asserted, giving Tsubaki one of her smug grins, which Tsubaki in turn just replied by rolling her eyes.

"How about you then? How do you keep getting yourself into these dumb situations all the damn time?" Sayuri questioned as they were now walking through the rather dark hallways of an unknown building. How do I keep getting myself into these situations you ask? Maybe being the leader of one of the strongest gangs in Tokyo has something to do with it." Tsubaki paused for a moment. "I don't know, what do you think?"





Time | 10:19 AM, September 12, 2054
Location | Central Tokyo, Tsubaki's Apartment





"Ya' know you still have that ugly bump from when you were hit over the head last weak right?" Sayuri stated then leaned over and tried to poke it, but Tsubaki snapped her jaws at finger and she immediately pulled back. "Yes I know, and think you for reminding me. Also, would you mind calling Lucia over for me, I have a favor to ask of her." Sayuri glared at her, "What do I look like to ya'? Your accountant?". Tsubaki just glared at her. "Fine Fine. I'll do it.

Yesterday, 21:00 PM
Location unknown





Again.

Nathan found himself, lying on hard and cold asphalt, cornered in the darkness and covered with a strong metallic smelling liquid. It wasn't as if this was the first time. In fact, Nathan was used to it by now, having go through this for years. Bathing in blood so extravagantly while surrounded by dead bodies he never even met before as also the headache which he caught every time afterwards, exhaustion and dizziness. Everything which seemed to be agony before turned to triviality. A triviality, that lately became such a hassle. More and more Unmeis showed themselves, made Nathan's other personality turn its switch on almost restless, hunting Unmeis down as though a competition going on. Like a mad man, dashing through the streets only had one single purpose. Never even wanting to think of how much humans he killed in the process.

With wobbly legs he helped himself up by dragging himself up on the wall and stayed there for a couple of minutes, panting. Every time he was the mad man, he'll use every inch of his body to its fullest and therefore completely exhaust himself afterwards. It wasn't a weakness, rather, like a secret weapon. But how Nathan is tired out so much, he won't last long even for his physic. It was forestalled that he'll break himself with what most of the people called his state of mind "The Joker". A weapon only showed up in critical situations and turned all the cards back to the unpredictable outcome, even plan a counterattack. That was Nathan or "The Bard" like he was called in the Free Spirit. It was a wondrous thing he was accepted though, as one: he hadn't such a hold on his power unlike the others and two: riddles were for sure not his piece of cake. Only one thing he had in common with the most of the members: The love for music. Perhaps that was why he was accepted in the first place, or just the fact that Free Spirit needed more members, Nathan didn't know. He even couldn't care less either way.

Darkness, everywhere he went. With every, heavy and slow step he made, the sound will be echoed on the wall, turned back to his ear louder and louder. Another sound was there, in the emptiness of the darkness: Water. Pouring and splattering. His breath. Heavy breath, panting like crazy. Everything flew into his ear while he walked, every noise, even if it was as quiet as the breath of a spider. Anxiety aroused. Biting his tongue to think of the positive, he finally caught a glimpse of light and slowly approached it with extreme delight, literary dragged him out of the building he was in with the last bit of his power. There, he slumped down his knees. And fell into a deep sleep.



Today, 9:00 AM
Nathan's apartment





It was at 8 AM he woke up, surrounded by humans with a guard uniform who were found dead few hours after he left. He knew, it was his doing, it was obvious. No Unmeis would have killed their victim so beautifully by only slicing through the necessary, never adding any more injuries or critical wounds for amusement. Water pattered down on his naked body, cleaning him from the blood but never from the sin he had committed. Perhaps, it was a good thing. He can reflect upon what he had done, even though only for few minutes.

Currently, Nathan was within his private walls, sneaked inside it from the window as he found the thought of walking in from the front door unpleasant, while he was still covered with blood from unknown individuals. Yes, in such time, a hot bath was always the best. Stopping the water current in the shower, he stepped inside the bath already filled with hot water and foam he loved so much. Even the little gummy duck was already inside, made Nathan lightly laugh and uttered with relief: "You always know how to swing my mood back up, do you?" Then Nathan leaned back, closed his eyes and just enjoyed the luxury. After this he'll go to the headquarters, yes, after this. After this...



Today, 11:10 AM
Free Spirit Headquarters





New day, new luck.

After Nathan took a whole hour to dry his hair, he went down to the streets. And so like everyday, he greeted everyone he met. The nice grandma from the neighbourhood, the dog from the grand house, the beautiful lady in the flower shop, the grocery shop owner even the little kids who played on the playground. Nathan almost knew them all, even though merely their appearance and name. Soon he reached the headquarters. He chose his apartment in a location so that he only had to walk to arrive at the Free Spirit Headquarters, nothing that was done by coincidence. By pure chance some of the residence had to move away and therefore with ease he found himself a place to stay. Of how he claimed enough money is to leave unanswered. "Good morning, everyone!" He greeted with a polite smile like always, lightly bowed his head to every person he met. It was only a matter of time where he also noticed both Lissette and Nymeria. Both giving off a rather similar aura to them, a "hard to approach" kind, made them one of the most stick out members from all. For Nathan, it wasn't such a bad thing. At least, if they're such treasures for the strength of the gang or like Nathan called it "interest group".

"Good morning, Lissette, Nymeria. You both noticed anything unusual aside from the increasing number of Unmeis?" It was one of those 'by-the-way' questions, those who were meant only to start a conversation. Nathan knew little to nothing of Lissette, as she was the new recruit. Perhaps, she wasn't as scary as the others said she is? Nathan was curious.
